To quote JohnS: 2B2 is where the bore is a true 82mm. If you look at the engine workshop manual you will see there are a selection of them for different manufactured tollerances. Some engines have a mix of pistons in (rare) and some engines are all not 82mm bore. The piston code will tell you either way. If your car was built on a Friday then it could be anything Seriously though, 90% of engines are 2B2. If you have a 2Mx code on them or other code then your engine has already been overbored to the first oversize. It is always worth checking what they are so you don't end up with useless bits (be it rings or pistons)

I can't find it exactly, but in the workshop manual it show 3 different size for pistons and cylinder bores - no obvious codes on them though. Chapter 0:10 page 8.
Pistons (in mm) A = 81.952 ~ 81.962 B = 81.959 ~ 81.971 C = 81.968 ~ 81.978
Cylinder liner/bore (in mm) A = 82.000 ~ 82.010 B = 82.010 ~ 82.020 C = 82.020 ~ 82.030

Coupled with this Looks like 4 of your pistons are B and 1 is A.

Be quick - I think he leaves today
P.S When measuring the piston remember that they taper at the bottom a little.

if you have forged pistons you should use the spec sheet.
You can't use a simple vernier as you won't get the diameter accurately. I think you may need to get the 2B1 cylinder honed out such that it is a 2b2 spec.
You'll need to check your bores haven't ovalised at the top due to the compression stroke
